The road to becoming a journeyman ironworker is through apprenticeship training. The Iron Worker's apprenticeship program is a well-organized and supervised method of training people—with little or no knowledge of the craft—to become journeymen ironworkers qualified in all trade segments. Most ironworker apprenticeships last 3 or 4 years, depending on local union requirements. An ideal schedule provides equal structural, reinforcing, ornamental, welding, and rigging training. The actual length of training for each subject may vary depending on the predominant type of work available in your local area.
